Sociopath

About Sociopath

Sociopath, Master, designed by Fred Harper first released in november 2003 in the set Black Hand.

Sociopath is best suited to a **Sabbat rush-combat or combat-wall deck** whose vampires reliably send opponents to torpor or burn them in combat, particularly a deck using blood-intensive combat cards: it provides recurring blood without costing pool, and a wall can potentially trigger it on other players’ turns as well as your own because its limit is once per turn, not once per round. However, gaining just 1 blood per qualifying combat is a modest reward, and the card still consumes a master-phase action and your vampire’s only archetype slot. **Monster is usually the better archetype for an aggressive combat vampire**, since unlocking after a qualifying combat at the end of the action can enable another action or leave the vampire available to block; that flexibility generally outweighs 1 blood. **Taste of Vitae is usually better for combat-based blood recovery** when your strategy inflicts substantial blood loss through damage, although it takes combat-card slots and is less useful
